"Foreign Hotel": It was once a paradise

In order to change the boring life they have left, seven old British old men with all kinds of life experiences traveled far and wide to a resort hotel in India. I wanted to relieve my boredom and enjoy my last leisure life, but found that the so-called "holiday resort" was just a deserted courtyard that was on the verge of bankruptcy. There is no modern high-tech telephone, no comfortable accommodation, and there is not even a single service staff. There is only one Indian guy who runs all the duties. Son. The old British man, who was patient enough, did not give up and walked away. After various twists and turns, he was jealous and flirting, not only did he not let the abandoned courtyard go bankrupt, but also let the Indian guy realize the true meaning of life and insist on the hotel's continued operation.

The film is adapted from the novel "These Stupid Things" by the British female writer Bora McGurk, but "these stupid things" are very unavoidable attention, and it is the seven well-known British old actors who starred in it. Like a treasure. Not only did I meet the old gentleman Bill Nighy, but I also learned that the Iron Lady Judi Dench in 007 turned out to be British. A group of old former colonists who "don't want to grow old, hate the contempt of others, hate being excluded and ignored by society, hate to be ignored and ignored by others" returned to the colony, gave dignified and dignified lectures, and resolutely displayed a glorious image of self-respect and saving the world. , and regain the good feeling of being valued and admired for many years.

Of course, the Indians who have always liked to sway their lives should indeed be grateful to the British colonists. Because, after the British invaded India in the 18th century, in addition to doing everything the colonists were supposed to do, they not only unified India, which had been at war for thousands of years, but also did the most civilized thing for them. People record all kinds of deeds, so that Indians have a history that truly belongs to them. Today, the British have returned to this "homeland", shooting various Indian stories to tell the world that India without the British is so dilapidated and impoverished. If "Slumdog Millionaire" is still half-covered about India's backward dilemma, then this film can be regarded as a bold disclosure, but I don't know if Indians will stand up to protest this time. Perhaps, while these protests will not have the slightest effect, they will also spawn more retaliatory shootings by the British.

This city at night is extraordinary. I think the apple tobacco helped... probably.
